Bruce Banner’s in the big city — and New Yorkers are earning their reputation for not being the friendliest bunch! The Quintronic Man, the Constrictor and Jack of Hearts all have it out for Banner, and that means the Hulk’s gonna take a gamma-green bite out of the Big Apple! Then, Hulk heads upstate — straight up, to the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier — to battle the Bi-Beast! Both brutes are presumed dead in the aftermath of this cataclysmic clash, but will this mean some rare peace for the Hulk? Sadly no, because no man is an island — and when Hulk washes ashore, trouble comes to him in writer Roger Stern’s dazzling debut! Also featuring monster and mystic team-ups with Doctor Strange and Doctor Druid and a classic Hulk tale by Jim Starlin!

Prepare now — the Celestials are coming! Roy Thomas and Walter Simonson usher in the era of the Eternals, and it may mean death for all mankind. Thus begins the unbelievable war between gods known as the Celestial Saga! It’s a tale that ranks among the greatest Thor adventures of all time, and it’s a must-have for Marvel fans! Thor confronts Odin with questions about Ragnarok, his mother and the threat of the Celestials — but the All-Father withholds the truth. A Thunder God must have answers, and so Thor sets out on a quest that will bring him face-to-face with the Eternals — and the towering Fourth Host of the Celestials! Also featuring the triumvirate of terror that is Loki, Pluto and Ulik; Thor vs. Hyperion; and an Asgardian adaptation of the famous Trojan Horse!

It’s horror on the home front when Peter Parker becomes the third wheel to comics’ oddest couple! Yes, Aunt May has found a new special friend: Dr. Otto Octavius! While a klonk on the head may help Spidey forget that one, teaming up with Doc Ock isn’t going to improve his image as Public Enemy No. 1! Spidey battles his way through Ka-Zar, the Vulture and Mysterio, but his deadliest battle is yet to come: Norman Osborn has regained his memory — and the Green Goblin has returned! Spider-Man’s most dangerous foe, the only villain to uncover his identity as Peter Parker, is back with a vengeance — and the two will face off in a gigantic, 58-page magazine masterpiece!

Taken to the edge! Daredevil’s armored gray costume is no more — but who is that running around in the original yellow suit? And the classic red? Is it Matt Murdock? Jack Batlin? Or…someone else?! The Man Without Fear faces an identity crisis — and it won’t be easy to put his broken life back together! If he can, a new day will dawn for Nelson & Murdock — unless hotshot lawyer Rosalind Sharpe has other ideas! Faces from Matt’s past resurface, including his mother, former lover Black Widow and dead mentor Stick — but there’s something different about Spider-Man! Meanwhile, villains line up to take on Daredevil — like Pyro, the Enforcers, the Absorbing Man and Mysterio! Matt faces one of his hardest cases: defending the murderous Mister Hyde! And DD pulls an all-nighter battling Insomnia!

When more cosmic rays transform the two in unexpected ways, how will they react to their monstrous new mutations? Meanwhile, the Fantastic Four get involved in Doctor Doom’s war with Kristoff Vernard — but on whose side? And a trip to the Mole Man’s realm leads across time and space — and to encounters with Belasco, Master Pandemonium and…the Beyonder! Plus: Hulk and Thing throw down in two supersized slugfests!

From despair to D’Spayre! With Tyrone Johnson dead and buried, a blind and grief-stricken Dagger deals with the agony of loss — while the villainous Ecstasy wears Cloak’s cloak! But rumors of Ty’s death have been greatly exaggerated — does he have what it takes to reclaim his mantle? He’d better hope so, because when the Acts of Vengeance hit, our reunited duo will encounter the Avengers! Meanwhile, the evil Mr. Jip has been scheming for months — and his multifaceted plans will soon come to fruition! But what does Doctor Doom have to do with it? Plus: Spider-Man and Ghost Rider help Cloak and Dagger take on…Mephisto? And can our heroes cope with the demonic D’Spayre, who bears shocking revelations about their origins?

As the X-Men’s popularity exploded, the X-books were the place to be — and there sure were a lot of them! From EXCALIBUR to the radically revised X-FACTOR to two (count ’em, two) books for the X-Men alone! Generation X learned the ropes, while X-Force kicked butt! Wolverine searched for secrets of his past, Cable struggled with his destiny, X-Man explored our strange new world and Deadpool began his rise to superstardom! But which ’90s nemesis would prove most deadly: the Legacy virus or the mansion’s latest inhabitant…Sabretooth?!

A veritable who’s who of horror, this volume collects the complete 1970s adventures of the Zombie, Brother Voodoo, the Living Mummy, It! the Living Colossus, the Golem, Gabriel the Devil Hunter, the Scarecrow and Modred the Mystic — including hair-raising encounters with Werewolf by Night, Doctor Strange, the Hulk, the Thing, the Avengers and more!

Crom! This inaugural volume ushers in Marvel’s line of definitive Savage Sword of Conan collections. After the breakout success of Conan’s color comic, Marvel brought the legendary sword-and-sorcery saga of Robert E. Howard’s hero to its black-and-white magazine line. In lushly illustrated novel-length adventures with all the drama, violence and allure the comic book medium can offer, writer Roy Thomas and Marvel’s greatest artists craft a host of Conan classics like Barry Windsor-Smith’s “Red Nails” and John Buscema’s “Black Colossus” and “A Witch Shall Be Born” featuring the infamous Tree of Death are just the beginning!

In 1986, Marvel launched CLASSIC X-MEN, a series that reprinted the “All-New, All-Different X-Men” era — with a twist! All-new backup stories fleshed out the 1970s tales and delved deeper into the characters’ lives — and new story pages were even inserted into the reprints, expanding on key moments and sowing the seeds for future storylines! Now, all this newly created material has been collected together — complete with comparisons and text pieces explaining what was changed, what was added and why! Friendships are forged, allies are mourned and lives are transformed in these rare tales that dance between the raindrops of some of the most revered X-Men comics of all time!

Plus: The classic adventures that introduced Mar-Vell, the seminal battle with Nitro that began his descent into illness — and, in the midst of a battle against Titan’s planet-sized computer system, corrupted by Thanos’ madness, witness the budding romance between Mar-Vell and his true love Elysius!

Luke Cage defends the streets of New York City — and even takes the fight to the outer boroughs — in this Marvel Masterworks volume completing his solo adventures! Cage will face menaces as tough as Moses Magnum, as bizarre as the Mace…and as infuriating as the Gem Theater’s always unpredictable vending machine. It’s all set against the gritty streets of 1970s Times Square, a location as colorful as anything Marvel’s minds have ever conjured up! In addition to these fearsome foes, Cage must also battle an all-new and amped-up Chemistro, the Spear who seeks to settle a score with the man who made Luke Cage bulletproof, and an adversary as unstoppable as death itself: the IRS!

I smash, you smash, but nobody, nobody, smashes like Hulk smash! Leaping out of the pages of TALES TO ASTONISH and into his own ongoing title again, the Incredible Hulk has twice the space to shake the Earth with his mighty rage. And he’ll need it! The Hulk travels far and wide — but doesn’t make too many friends along the way! The jade giant’s travelogue of destruction leaves the Mandarin, the Inhumans, the Sandman and the entire Savage Land rubbing sore jaws. And when Hulk’s archnemesis the Leader returns, all bets are off — as writer Stan Lee joins with iconic Hulk artist Herb Trimpe (who makes his debut in this very volume!) to pull out all the stops!

Professor X is dead! The X-Men have gone their separate ways! In the late 1960s, searching for a way to reinvigorate its poorest-selling super heroes, Marvel was trying anything and everything. With the title on the verge of cancellation, writer Roy Thomas and artist Neal Adams suddenly clicked — and the rest is history! Their epic evolution of the X-Men defines the team to this day. Adams’ lavish and dynamic visuals and Thomas’ challenging and contemporary stories combined in a book that throbbed with the pulse of the times. Their iconic stories collected here introduce Cyclops’ brother Havok, the vampiric villain Sauron, the Savage Land Mutates and X-Man-to-be Sunfire! Not to mention the Living Pharaoh, a classic team-up with Ka-Zar…and don’t forget the return of Magneto!

When NASA Security Chief Carol Danvers’ genetic structure was melded with alien Kree DNA, Danvers was imbued with amazing powers — and an all-new Marvel hero was born! But before she became Captain Marvel, Carol Danvers was Ms. Marvel — with X-Men writer Chris Claremont weaving together complex plots and compelling characterization to craft her iconic original adventures! Witness Carol’s first meeting with the Avengers! The debuts of Mystique and Rogue! Battles with Ronan the Accuser, Sabretooth and the Guardians of the Galaxy! And Carol’s story reaches its epic conclusion in a Marvel milestone guest-starring the X-Men and the Avengers!

Few creators have ever left their mark on one character quite the way Walter Simonson has. His work on the Mighty Thor swept the Norse God of Thunder to heights never before seen and rarely achieved in his wake. Spanning epic tales of heroism and treachery, love and war, Simonson’s work is often considered the definitive Thor. From the majesty and mystery of fabled Asgard to the gritty streets of New York City, Thor was never the same. That is the mark of a true visionary. This fifth and final volume completes the collection of Simonson’s epic run — completely remastered from the original artwork and dynamically recolored by Steve Oliff.

No one in the Marvel Universe knows how to make friends…and enemies…and frenemies…like the Amazing Spider-Man! And he’s going to add to the ranks of all three, beginning with an Iron Fist kung fu clash. Then, Nighthawk, Valkyrie and Doctor Strange join in the battle against Jeremiah and his Church of Blood. Never wanting to leave a corner of Marveldom unexplored, the monsters are unleashed with Man-Wolf, Frankenstein’s Monster and the Beast. We’re even including Spidey’s Giant-Size adventures with (or is it against?) the Punisher and the Man-Thing. Meanwhile, the Human Torch takes MTU’s headline spot in a battle of fire and brimstone and the Big Man and Sons of the Tiger close out another Masterworks extravaganza!

Stan Lee called it “the World’s Greatest Comic Magazine,” and he wasn’t kidding. If Lee and Jack Kirby set the comics world on fire in 1961 with the debut of the Fantastic Four, in 1965 they burned it down. Letting loose an unmatched burst of rapid-fire creativity, they gave birth to the Frightful Four, the Inhumans, Galactus and the Silver Surfer — and even pulled off the first super-hero wedding! There are also monster menaces galore, including Dragon Man — and out-of-this-world villains, from the shape-shifting Skrulls to the undersea warlord Attuma. But it’s not just the panel-bursting action that makes FANTASTIC FOUR great. It’s the drama of a family, united to explore all the wonders of the Marvel Universe side by side!

And while Black Cat crosses Dagger’s path, the horrific Mr. Jip makes his debut! Why have he and his minions Day and Night targeted the light-and-darkness duo? In other action, Cloak and Dagger encounter the Punisher, Power Pack and the menace of Mayhem — and when Dagger’s soul is corrupted, it’s X-Factor to the rescue!

After the Fantastic Four’s groundbreaking debut, readers couldn’t get enough of Marvel’s innovative new heroes — especially the Human Torch! So Stan Lee and Jack Kirby gave the fiery teen sensation his own series in the pages of STRANGE TALES! After a hot streak of solo stories, the Torch was joined by the ever-lovin’ blue-eyed Thing, and the two teammates tackled some of the wildest ne’er-do-wells of the Silver Age: the Wizard, the Sandman, the Rabble Rouser, Plantman and the one and only Paste-Pot Pete! Also featuring Marvel’s first fire-and-ice battle between the Torch and the X-Men’s Iceman — and guest stars Spider-Man, Mister Fantastic and the Invisible Woman!

They are Bronx teenagers chosen for their extraordinary abilities, trained in hand-to-hand combat by the mysterious Mr. Mack until their strength and courage are forged as hard as steel. They are…the Wolfpack! According to legend, they’re part of a millennia-old order that serves as righteous balance to the villainous Nine — a group completely devoid of compassion, mercy or charity. And together the ’Pack will fight to save their home from anything the Nine can throw at them. They are martial artist Rafael Vega, bruiser “Slag” Slagley, ninja-skilled Slippery Sam, speedy Sharon and master-planner “Wheels” Wolinski — heroes for the mean streets of the 1980s! But with guns blazing and swords clashing, will all of them survive all-out war for the South Bronx?

Tony Stark is one of the Marvel Universe’s most advanced minds and experienced inventors — but those talents are about to be turned against him, shaking him to his core! Looking to exploit Stark Industries tech, the Red Ghost kidnaps Tony. In the melee, Happy Hogan dons the Iron Man armor, but suffers severe injuries — leading to a dangerous procedure that will once again turn him into the monstrous Freak! Meanwhile, NYPD Detective Michael O’Brien begins an investigation aiming to nail Tony for the death of O’Brien’s brother, the Guardsman. Add to that the Blood Brothers, the Controller, the Melter, M.O.D.O.K. and a new incarnation of the Molecule Man — Iron Man must defend himself from threats from all corners before he loses everything!

It’s a new direction for the red-white-and-blue Avenger! When the city’s police officers begin to disappear, Captain America takes a job as one of New York’s finest! There are also larger-than-life villains — from the Grey Gargoyle to Hydra to the Red Skull — providing plenty of opportunity for Cap to swing that shield! And speaking of S.H.I.E.L.D., Nick Fury’s spy shop is here, too — and they’ll be fighting both for and against Cap! Meanwhile, the Falcon has a surprise encounter with two familiar — and anything but friendly — faces that will change Captain America’s life forever. It’s the shock of the year as Cap discovers that while he was frozen in the Arctic, there was a second Captain America and Bucky! Now they’re back — and they’re fighting mad!

The Fantastic Four, like never before! With Reed, Sue, Ben and Johnny out of commission, a new FF comes together: Spider-Man, Wolverine, Ghost Rider and the Hulk! But what monstrous threat could bring these heroes together? And how are the Mole Man and the Skrulls involved? Maybe the real FF can help figure all that out! Then, the one, true Doom returns — and a time-jumping battle for the ages with Mister Fantastic ensues! Did we say time? Uh-oh, better hope nobody tells the Time Variance Authority! The Thing battles the Wrecker before a fantastic new era begins — and a stunning revelation rocks the marriage of Johnny Storm and Alicia Masters! Plus: The New Warriors, the Guardians of the Galaxy and a Miracle on Yancy Street!

Whether clad in blue and red or black, or possessing spider-powers or cosmic ones, Spider-Man stands ready to face any threat! And the threats have never been greater! From his own foes — Venom, Mysterio, the Scorpion and more — to newcomers to his friendly neighborhood like Sabretooth, the Taskmaster, Magneto and the Sentinels, Spidey sure has his hands full! Good thing he’s got Mary Jane, Captain America, the Black Cat and the Hulk around to lend a hand! Featuring the pulse-pounding prose of longtime IRON MAN scribe David Michelinie and the groundbreaking artistry of the legendary Todd McFarlane!

He rose from the grave in 1972, ushering in an Age of Horror like nothing seen before or since! Now behold the Prince of Darkness’ first encounters with his most implacable enemies of the era, including legendary Blade the Vampire Hunter! With ghosts, mutants, mad scientists and more! Plus a tour of the Lord of the Vampires’ earlier U.S. activities, with such stops as the Pool of Blood and the Devil’s Heart! Featuring Werewolf by Night and Lilith, Daughter of Dracula!

Few people have ever left their mark on one character quite the way Walter Simonson has. His work on the Mighty Thor swept the Norse God of Thunder to heights never before seen and rarely achieved in his wake. Spanning epic tales of heroism and treachery, love and war, Simonson’s work is often considered the definitive Thor. From the majesty and mystery of fabled Asgard to the gritty streets of New York City, Thor was never the same. That is the mark of a true visionary. This fourth volume continues the collection of Simonson’s epic run — completely remastered from the original artwork and dynamically recolored by Steve Oliff.

Few people have ever left their mark on one character quite the way Walter Simonson has. His work on the Mighty Thor swept the Norse God of Thunder to heights never before seen and rarely achieved in his wake. Spanning epic tales of heroism and treachery, love and war, Simonson’s work is often considered the definitive Thor. From the majesty and mystery of fabled Asgard to the gritty streets of New York City, Thor was never the same. That is the mark of a true visionary. This first volume begins the collection of Simonson’s epic run — completely remastered from the original artwork and dynamically recolored by Steve Oliff.

Sink your teeth into a vampiric volume that chronicles some of the greatest supernatural comics ever printed! The all-time classic TOMB OF DRACULA ushered in Marvel’s glorious age of horror, while the black-and-white magazine DRACULA LIVES! delivered stories with real bite — and both featured legendary creators, including Gene Colan in his prime illustrating the Lord of Vampires! The tomb has opened, and Dracula lives again! But his descendant, Frank Drake, joins vampire hunters including Rachel Van Helsing and Quincy Harker in a bid to return him to his grave! Will they drive a stake through Dracula’s heart — or will that honor fall to Blade?

Could they lie in the terrible tome known as the Darkhold? But Jack’s quest is fraught with danger — from mad monks to big-game hunters to a traveling freak show! Then there’s the terror of Tatterdemalion, the horror of Hangman and the torment of Taboo! But few encounters can compare with Krogg, the lurker from beyond — except, maybe, a Marvel Team-Up with Spider-Man…and a supernatural showdown with Dracula himself!

In their latest, greatest Marvel Masterworks, the Fantastic Four confront one of their oldest enemies: the Skrulls! And they’ll have to do it as their older selves after an aging weapon advances them to death’s door! The talents of Marv Wolfman, Keith Pollard and John Byrne — in his FF debut — keep the story feisty, the art spry and the adventure fantastic. How could it not be when the world-devourer Galactus enters the fray with a new herald? As if that weren’t enough, the cosmic Sphinx, scheming Monocle, combustible Blastaar, formidable Frightful Four and diabolical Salem’s Seven keep the scope epic, the stakes absolute and you on the edge of your seat! And H.E.R.B.I.E.? He’s just keeping it real.

All hell breaks loose! Things really get heated as Daredevil is caught between the diabolical Mephisto and his monstrous son Blackheart! The Man Without Fear and his friends will be forced to face their demons like never before! Are they fated to burn for eternity in the fiery underworld, or can they find their way back home? And what role will the Silver Surfer play? As Atlantis Attacks, Daredevil must face…Spider-Man! And DD, the Surfer, Punisher and the Hulk will be stalked by Lifeform! Meanwhile, Acts of Vengeance puts Daredevil well out of his weight class in a battle against Ultron! Good thing Karnak and Gorgon of the Inhumans are around to lend a hand (and cloven hoof)!

Frank Castle’s war begins here! From his debut in Amazing Spider-Man to his hit 1986 Circle of Blood miniseries, the first entries in the Punisher’s war journal are collected in this can’t-miss Omnibus. In 1973, the Punisher set his sights on the criminal underworld. Comic books were never the same. A grim figure willing to achieve justice by any means, the Punisher shook the black-and-white world of heroes and villains off its foundation. Top creators, from Frank Miller to Mike Zeck, brought a striking depth and moral resonance to the Punisher, and each of their character-defining stories is collected here. Featuring a massive trove of original art, sketches, posters and more, this is the definitive edition for every Punisher fan.

In 1986, Marvel launched CLASSIC X-MEN, a series reprinting the stories of the “All-New, All-Different X-Men” era — with a twist! New backups fleshed out the 1970s tales and delved deeper into the characters’ lives — and new story pages inserted into the reprints expanded on key moments and sowed the seeds for future storylines! Now all this newly created material is collected in one volume for the first time — complete with comparisons and text articles explaining what was changed, what was added and why! It’s the perfect companion to your UNCANNY X-MEN collection! Friendships are forged, allies are mourned and lives are transformed in these rare tales that dance between the raindrops of some of the most revered comics of all time!

Hulk is the strongest! Why? Because it’s hard not to be when you go from strength to strength with artists Herb Trimpe and Sal Buscema! Trimpe defined the Incredible Hulk in an artistic tenure stretching from 1968 to 1975. When Sal Buscema took over the reins, not only did the series gain a great talent, but one that, unbelievably, would have a tenure longer than even Trimpe’s! Add to that Len Wein writing some of his greatest Hulk stories, and you’ve got a bona fide Marvel Masterworks! The adventures include Hulk smashing his way through the Mole Man, the Gremlin, the Shaper of Worlds, Doc Samson, the Abomination…and, of course, the never-ending military machinations of Gen. Thunderbolt Ross!

The Kree/Shi’ar War! When two of the galaxy’s most ancient and powerful races clash, it’s up to Earth’s Mightiest Heroes to play cosmic peacekeeper! With Earth in the crossfire, the Avengers are drawn into the conflict — and end up as alien invaders on war-torn worlds of wonder! Assemblers East and West are embroiled in an epic too big for even two Avengers titles — one that will shake the team to its very foundations! Super heroes from three galaxies clash in a war filled with incredible action — including Thor vs. Gladiator of the Shi’ar Imperial Guard — and the Avengers will face repercussions that will haunt them for years!

To spare a life, Thor makes the ultimate sacrifice! With the fate of his friend Eric Masterson in the balance, Thor steps in — and finds himself once again bonded to a mortal form! But which deadly foe will bring about such dire straits? Could it be Quicksand? The maniacal Mongoose? A new Executioner? Or as an untethered Asgard drifts into the Negative Zone, Annihilus? As a new era begins for Thor, another legendary hero returns: Zounds, it’s Hercules! It will take the combined might of these godly friends, plus She-Hulk, to face not one but two Dooms! In another heavyweight bout, Thor takes on the Juggernaut — with the New Warriors lending a hand! Plus: The High Evolutionary! Doctor Strange! The Thing! Tales of Asgard! Beta Ray Bill! And Ulik joins the Wrecking Crew!

The Defenders face threats Satanic, Seussian and everything in between! Marvel’s greatest non-team will take you on adventures made with their own special brand of action and interpersonal drama, topped by a heaping helping of the absurd! In this Epic Collection, the Defenders battle the cosmic Over-Mind, the alternate-Earth Squadron Supreme, the fan-favorite Elf with a Gun, the Avengers, and even themselves! Patsy Walker’s relationship with Daimon Hellstrom, the Son of Satan, will flower, while classic Defenders — Hulk, Namor and the Silver Surfer — will return! Out of it all, the New Defenders — featuring Iceman, Angel, Beast and Moondragon — will rise, and nothing will be the same. Same as it ever was!

These stories aren’t just a fun atomic romp, they’re the training ground where Stan Lee and Jack Kirby honed their creative partnership, learning each other’s strengths and building an unmatched rapport.

Meanwhile, from the ashes of the Sons of the Tiger, Bill Mantlo and George Pérez introduce Hector Ayala, the White Tiger! Also featuring Shang-Chi, Master of Kung Fu; Jack of Hearts; Swordquest’s samurai action; two team-ups starring all of Marvel’s martial-arts heroes; and Claremont and Marshall Rogers’ beautiful take on the Daughters of the Dragon! Plus: kung fu interviews, movie reviews, and more!

Every Spider-Man story featuring the action-packed art of Erik Larsen — including his fan-favorite collaboration with writer David Michelinie! These two top-notch creators pitted Spidey against heavyweights like Magneto, the Tri-Sentinel and Punisher — but that was just a warm-up for the main events: The return of the Sinister Six! A deadlier-than-ever Venom! And a senses-shattering showdown with Doctor Doom! In this seminal run, Spider-Man gains cosmic abilities, loses his spider-powers, battles Styx & Stone and the Black Fox, and fights alongside…Sandman and the Avengers?! Plus: a latter-day showdown with the Spider-Slayers — and Larsen doubles up as writer to team Spider-Man with Wolverine and deliver the shocking sequel “Revenge of the Sinister Six”!

Celebrated writer Chris Claremont turns his magic toward the Master of the Mystic Arts: Doctor Strange! Joined by artistic icon Gene Colan, there’s no doubt the Doctor is in! Together, these creative giants return Baron Mordo to the fore, arming him with the occult secrets of the Vatican and testing Doctor Strange’s mystic might. Then, the Shadowqueen captures Wong, and Clea and Strange must traverse dimensions and battle the demonic N’Garai to save him! Also featuring a Claremont/Marshall Rogers masterpiece; an alternate world where Doctor Strange is a disciple of the Dread Dormammu; and the 1980 all-Doctor Strange Marvel Comics Calendar, illustrated by an amazing array of top artists from Frank Miller to John Byrne!

Matt Murdock has done battle with Marvel’s most maddening villains — but when the Jester enters the fray, the rules change forever! Framing DD for murder, the Jester sets all of New York against the Man Without Fear — and the stakes get even higher when Starr Saxon discovers DD’s secret identity! Daredevil also faces off against two of Marvel’s greatest heroes, Captain America and the Black Panther — all the while struggling to rebuild his relationship with the lovely Karen Page. Then comes Death’s Head, a villain with deep connections to those closest to Daredevil. It’s a classic battle that pushes Matt Murdock to reveal his identity to Karen — but will it bring them closer together, or force them apart?

Tony Stark is back as the Invincible Iron Man! Stan Lee and Gene Colan’s complete run — a host of iconic Iron Man adventures, including one of Marvel’s first crossovers — is proudly presented in this Epic Collection. Brought before the United States Senate to divulge the secrets of Stark Enterprises, Tony Stark has never faced higher stakes. But survival in the halls of government means risking the life of his friend, Happy Hogan! Then, the Mandarin tests Iron Man’s mettle, executive privilege does nothing to save Tony from Whiplash and the Titanium Man, and the ideologues at A.I.M. attack — taking us to the debut of Iron Man’s very own solo series!

Few comic books have ever come close to reaching the page-turning power, action, and drama of AMAZING SPIDER-MAN. Guided by Stan Lee, John Romita Sr. and Gil Kane, Spidey grew to become not just the most relatable hero in comics, but also the industry’s top seller! And you’ll see the reasons why again and again in this truly amazing third Omnibus collection. One iconic story follows another: the Stone Tablet Saga, the debut of Black Widow’s new look, Kingpin’s Shakespearean family drama, Captain Stacy’s tragic death, the pathos of Peter Parker’s love triangle with Gwen Stacy and Spidey, the historic Comics Code-defying “drug” issues, and Morbius the Living Vampire’s debut!

From Groot to Fin Fang Foom, Marvel is proud to collect Stan Lee, Larry Lieber and Jack Kirby’s monster masterworks in two astonishing Omnibus volumes! Stan “The Man” Lee and Jack “The King” Kirby are known the world over as two of the most influential creative powerhouses of the 20th century. Before they created Marvel’s super heroes, they concocted a host of iconic monster menaces! As if driven by atomic power, Lee and Kirby—aided by scripter Larry Lieber—turned out page after page of action-packed classics, many hinting at the famous Marvel heroes and villains to come: Thorr the Unbelievable; a wooly, alien Hulk; the eight-foot-tall Magneto. These tales are the awe-inspiring crucible that created the Marvel Age of Comics!

Englehart, Buscema and Robbins bring you one of the most influential Captain America sagas of all time in the latest Marvel Masterworks! Disillusioned by government corruption and shaken by the revelations behind the Secret Empire, Steve Rogers renounces his role as Captain America! As the Falcon fights on, Rogers wrestles with his place in the world — and becomes Nomad, a man without a country! In his new identity, Nomad must overcome the power of Madame Hydra and the mystical Serpent Crown. And the Red Skull’s return forces our hero to make a choice — with the Falcon’s life hanging in the balance! Rounded out by adversaries including Nightshade, the Druid and Doctor Faustus, these are the stories that defined Captain America for a generation!

Years before Jack Kirby introduced the world to a new age of heroic Marvels, the King of comics terrorized it with incredible creations — many of which are poised to rock the Marvel Universe once again! In this collection of strange tales to astonish, meet a menacing menagerie from Kirby’s boundless imagination, all with unforgettable names. Gorgilla! Blip! Monstrom! Grottu! Moomba! Orrgo! Bruttu! Rommbu! Vandoom’s Monster! Goom and Googam! And don’t forget Groot! Plus: Catch up with Jack’s legendary creations Devil Dinosaur and Fin Fang Foom, and meet monster hunters Elsa Bloodstone, Lady Hellbender and Moon Girl!

Daredevil teams up with not one but two stunning women of Marvel when Black Widow and Shanna the She-Devil join the battle against Black Spectre! Together, the three heroes must uncover the secret leaders of an organization bent on bringing the United States to its knees. It’s a massive saga that will pull in heroes from across the Marvel Universe, including Moondragon and the ever-lovin’ blue-eyed Thing — culminating in a battle royale on the White House lawn! Classic villains like Gladiator and Owl abound, and new enemies emerge when Death-Stalker hatches a plan that brings Man-Thing into the fray! Add in a return to Fogwell’s Gym, where it all began, and what we have in store are true Marvel Masterworks!

Stan Lee and Steve Ditko created an unabashed cultural phenomenon in the AMAZING SPIDER-MAN. Their pitch-perfect blend of Peter Parker’s everyday woes and Spider-Man’s never-say-die adventures was something undeniably special. And after years of perfecting that formula, they unleashed the definitive Spider-Man masterpiece: the Master Planner saga! Putting Spider-Man through the most wrenching experience of his career, Lee and Ditko defined the spirit of a hero that has inspired millions. This Epic Collection has that complete story and so much more in store: the first appearance of Gwen Stacy, Peter Parker’s high-school graduation and landmark battles with the Green Goblin — plus a spellbinding team-up with that other famous Lee/Ditko creation, Doctor Strange!

Join the original X-Men — Cyclops, Marvel Girl, Beast, Angel and Iceman — in adventures from the days when Marvel’s merry mutants were the quirkiest quintet in comics, rather than the worldwide wunderkinds they are today! This Epic Collection presents early classics including the first appearance of Banshee; the brief tenure of the sixth X-Man, Mimic; the complete Factor Three saga; the “Origins of the X-Men” feature exploring Professor X’s formation of the team; and the debut of new costumes! Then, the X-Men’s lives take their most tragic turn — as their leader is killed! But before they can grieve, Magneto and the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants hit the scene for a battle that culminates in a classic X-Men/Avengers crossover!

But could it end with the Widow surrounded by international assassins? Old enemies and new are using Natasha’s instructor, her mentor and her ex-husband against her — or so it seems — but who and what can be trusted in a spy’s landscape of lies?

John Byrne makes his sensational return to the series he started, and She-Hulk’s adventures as a super hero who knows she’s in a comic book get wilder and more hilarious than ever! Shulkie will face problems high and low as her signature writer/penciler pits her against Spragg the Living Hill and sends her on a puntastic Jenny to the center of the Earth! But will she say “I do” to the Mole Man? She-Hulk will banter, body-swap, and battle tooth and nail as she tackles foes like the Black Talon and his Unliving X-Humed — and the Living Eraser, who may just wipe her out of comic-book continuity! But is She-Hulk’s greatest nemesis Xemnu the Titan, or John Byrne himself?!

The original comics adaptation of the greatest space-fantasy film of all is remastered for the modern age with all-new coloring by Chris Sotomayor! Weeks before George Lucas’ first Star Wars film hit theaters, Marvel gave fans their first look at Luke Skywalker, boldly asking: “Will he save the galaxy, or destroy it?” You may know the answer, but that doesn’t spoil the fun of seeing Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope like never before — including scenes that never made the silver screen! When Princess Leia is taken prisoner, Luke, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Han Solo, Chewbacca, C-3PO and R2-D2 ride to the rescue and take on Darth Vader in his awesome Death Star. It’s six against a galaxy — one that’s far, far away and a long time ago! May the Force be with you, in the mighty Marvel manner!

Shang-Chi continues to have his deadly hands full with foes like Shockwave, the sinister Agent Syn and the weapons master Zaran!

He thought he’d seen the last of his most bitter enemy — but an unholy resurrection will bring Shang-Chi face-to-face once again with his fearsome father Fu Manchu! And the family reunion will get even more bitter when Shang’s sister, Fah Lo Suee, renews their sibling rivalry. There’ll be gang wars, death cults and mind-blowing martial-arts mayhem on land and on sea! Plus: What if the Master of Kung Fu fought on the side of Fu Manchu?

But when the stakes get too high, the mighty mutants and the defenders of Canada can set aside their differences and join forces to save the world! In an all-time classic, Alpha Flight and the X-Men face the mythical might of Loki — and it’s a transformative experience! And in a blast from the past, Alpha Flight must ride to the rescue when the X-Men fall victim to Hydra!

Spider-Man blames Mysterio for Inferno’s weirdness, but soon finds himself battling demons, the Lizard…and his own possessed Thanksgiving Day parade balloon! Meanwhile, Hobgoblin faces a returned Green Goblin — and N’astirh will transform one of them into Demogoblin! And as Hell’s Kitchen looks more aptly named than ever, Typhoid Mary is in her element — and that’s bad news for Daredevil!

John Romita Jr. joins Chris Claremont as the Uncanny X-Men’s chart-topping adventures continue! Drama abounds as Cyclops heads off on his honeymoon with Madelyne Pryor, Wolverine’s relationship with Mariko takes a turn for the worse and Kitty Pryde is kidnapped and forced to marry the Morlock Caliban. Meanwhile, Rogue is Public Enemy No. 1, and anti-mutant sentiment threatens the passage of a law that will strip all mutants in the United States of their rights. There’s no shortage of action, either: Colossus battles Juggernaut, Mystique and the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants return and Rachel Summers arrives on the scene! Topped off by Claremont and Barry Windsor-Smith’s stunning classic story “Lifedeath” and the Magik limited series, there’s no shortage of mutant masterworks!

When Stan Lee turned the super hero world on its head by replacing Avengers founders Iron Man, Thor, Giant-Man and Wasp with a trio of former super villains, readers thought he’d gone mad. As it turned out, the only thing crazy was how insanely exciting the lineup of Captain America, Hawkeye, Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch would become! And the hits kept coming — with the first appearances of the Collector, the Swordsman and the Sons of the Serpent; the Black Widow’s AVENGERS debut; and Giant-Man’s transformation into Goliath! And despite the unbelievable heights the Avengers had reached under Lee, the sky was the limit when he passed the title to Roy Thomas!

Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, the creative team that sparked the Marvel revolution, set off on Asgardian adventures featuring the fight-to-end-all-fights between Thor and the Incredible Hulk! There’s also the return of the Grey Gargoyle, the debut of the Absorbing Man and the unstoppable Destroyer, Thor and Loki’s exile to Skornheim and the introduction of Hercules and the Greek gods! And it all leads to an epic adventure that pits Thor against Hercules and concludes in the depths of Pluto’s Underworld! Lest we forget, Tales of Asgard backs up every issue with the origins of Marvel’s Norse pantheon of heroes, villains and mystic lands; the secrets of Ragnarok; and much more!

Honor four decades of myth and majesty with the United Kingdom’s greatest hero! Follow Brian Braddock — handpicked for greatness by the sorcerer Merlyn — from the fateful decision that imbues him with the might of right on the path to glory that will make him protector of the Omniverse! Along the way, he’ll make a splash stateside in a team-up with Spider-Man and fight alongside the Black Knight in the name of King Arthur! Things go from fantasy to far-out as Brian goes Multiversal — facing Slaymaster, the Crazy Gang, Mad Jim Jaspers and the Fury! He’s Britain’s champion — now and forever!

The ultimate collection of the creator that defined Captain Marvel! Under the aegis of writer/artist Jim Starlin, CAPTAIN MARVEL evolved into one of comics’ most influential titles. Starlin stripped the Kree Captain to his core and resurrected him as a truly cosmic hero. This may have been Starlin’s first super-hero saga, but it introduced some of his signature characters — including Drax the Destroyer and Mar-Vell’s nemesis, Thanos! As Thanos’ mad quest for unlimited power rages, Captain Marvel teams with the Avengers for a truly epic confrontation! Years later, Starlin returned for the strikingly personal and moving “Death of Captain Marvel” — and rewrote the rule book on a super hero’s passing.

Magical tales from a spellbinding artist! P. Craig Russell brings his distinctive style to Doctor Strange in an Eisner Award-winning tale decades in the making. It’s a psychedelic story of sorcerous seduction that will take you from the arcane shadows of the Sanctum Sanctorum to the dizzying spires of the mystical city of Ditkopolis! The Master of the Mystic Arts puts Clea to the test, faces a challenge to his title as Sorcerer Supreme and battles a hoary host of foes. Plus: Russell turns his attention to (Scarlet) witchcraft and other chilling mysteries!

Continuing the definitive collection of Man-Thing’s macabre misadventures by his signature writer! The lumbering behemoth goes truly giant-size in one of the most notorious Marvel titles of all time, with stories ranging from a battle of the swamp monsters against the Glob, to a portentous flashback to the life of Ted Sallis before he was transformed. Those who know fear burn at the Man-Thing’s touch, but what will happen when he joins Daredevil, the Man Without Fear, in battle with Death-Stalker? Demons, dragons and dancers all lie in wait — and so do mad Vikings and ghost pirates! From the introspective to the action-packed to the downright bizarre, it’s the Man-Thing unleashed!

The world’s most famous Avenger is about to face one of his greatest challenges in the latest Iron Man Masterworks! A feud of epic proportions has been growing amongst the world’s super villains. The mysterious Black Lama pits villain against villain in a globe-spanning battle royale and the prize is ultimate power. It pits the Mandarin against the Yellow Claw, M.O.D.O.K. against the Mad Thinker and everyone against Iron Man! It’s a saga like only Marvel makes them — “The War of the Super-Villains!” The story’s surprise twists will even bring Iron Man to sunny southern California and San Diego Comic Con! (Hope he pre-registered!) Also featuring the towering threat of Ultimo and Iron Man’s return to Vietnam to rescue a friend behind enemy lines.

It’s Doctor Strange at his very best, brought to you by a host of top-flight creators including Roy Thomas, Gene Colan, Stan Lee and Barry Windsor-Smith!

Then, Steve Englehart and Frank Brunner break new boundaries of cosmic consciousness and other-dimensional adventure. Their all-time classic “Sise-Neg Genesis” and “Silver Dagger” sagas are strikingly personal epics featuring deliriously lush art and stories that plumb the depths of Strange’s soul! Also: Witness the death of the Ancient One, and Doctor Strange’s ascension to Sorcerer Supreme!

In the 1960s, Stan Lee and Jack Kirby created an unprecedented string of classic comic-book heroes. But quite possibly the most iconic of them all was the high-tech king of Wakanda, the Black Panther! When the Panther began his own solo series, Don McGregor strove to meet Lee and Kirby’s high standard with “Panther’s Rage” – an epic adventure so huge it ranged across the savannah, into the deepest jungles and up snow-topped mountains. Over its course, McGregor would explore and expand the life and culture of the Wakandans and their African kingdom in compelling detail. Then, he sent the Black Panther into very different but still dangerous territory — the American South — seeking justice for a murder connected to the Klan and the Soul Strangler!

Payback time! But for the Heroes for Hire, vengeance cuts both ways. When the killing machine known as Warhawk beats Danny to a pulp, Luke will take his pound of flesh in return. But he’s not the only one out to settle a score. The terrifying tag-team of Sabretooth and Constrictor are old foes out for blood — and to get the message across, they target Power Man and Iron Fist’s friends! And they’re not Luke and Danny’s only headache, as the heroes must take on the malignant Mole Man and the mountain-climbing Montenegro! Then there’s one of their strangest gigs: finding the missing vigilante Moon Knight! But when the heroes are hired to protect the lawyers Nelson and Murdock, will their biggest problem be Daredevil?

He’s got Marvel’s most rotten family tree: His sister is Satana, and dear old dad is none other than the Father of Lies himself! So is there any saving the soul of Daimon Hellstrom, the sensational Son of Satan? The world’s best-dressed exorcist will ride to the rescue of Ghost Rider and fight alongside the Thing and the Human Torch! Flaming trident at the ready, pentagram on his chest, he’ll contend with ice demons, a fire dragon, an Egyptian god, nihilists and folks who worship his father! Speaking of which, Daimon must endure an unhappy paternal reunion and a sibling rivalry with his succubus sis. They’re the relatives from hell — literally!

Spider-Man has become the world’s favorite super hero — and together with Ross Andru, Keith Pollard and guest artists including John Byrne and Jim Starlin, Marv Wolfman will prove why! Sure, there are fearsome villains to fight — such as Electro, Jigsaw and the Spider-Slayer! And unlikely enemies to face — such as Rocket Racer and the Big Wheel! And J. Jonah Jameson has an even sharper axe than usual to grind with Spidey after their latest encounter with the Man-Wolf! But the true drama, as always, comes from Peter Parker. As Aunt May hangs onto life by a thread, will Mary Jane accept Peter’s marriage proposal? And when Betty Brant walks back into his love life, what’s a Parker to do?

Baron Zemo, the man who sent Captain America and Bucky Barnes plunging to the bottom of the North Atlantic, returns to menace Cap — in a saga guest-starring Nick Fury, the Black Panther and Sharon Carter! Then, the Red Skull forces our hero to do his bidding — or risk America’s nuclear annihilation! There’s Kirby action at its best with Batroc the Leaper and the Trapster, and Lee drama at its deepest as Cap relives his first meeting with Bucky! It gets even more exciting when the world believes Steve Rogers is…dead? And when an encounter with the Red Skull and his Cosmic Cube causes Cap and the Skull to switch bodies, only Sam Wilson — the high-flying Falcon — can help Cap regain his true identity and defeat his Nazi nemesis!

The greatest non-team in comics gets the Epic treatment! J.M. DeMatteis and Don Perlin take Doctor Strange, the Hulk, Nighthawk, Hellcat and the Son of Satan on wild adventures into the occult — and against each other! These weird tales begin with a broken Eternity; evolve to include demons, Dracula and the Devil-Slayer; and culminate in a double-sized issue #100 extravaganza! If the Defenders can’t prevail, it’ll be hell on Earth — literally! Known as “The Six-Fingered Hand Saga,” this is one of the most compelling Defenders adventures of all time. Plus: Captain America teams up with the non-team in hopes of staving off the beginning of World War III. And witness the shocking death of a Defender!

The Master of the Mystic Arts crosses into the Quadriverse, but little does he realize that unknown agents have set the Cosmic Wheel of Change in motion. Chaos is unleashed as the universe goes mad! Only with the return of the Ancient One can Doctor Strange hope to restore order to creation, but he’ll have to conquer the cosmic might of the In-Betweener to do it! Writer Roger Stern has even more frightening horrors to unveil, as an elder god marshals Nightmare, D’Spayre and the Dream Weaver to twist reality — and rend Strange and Clea’s souls with inconceivable fears! Also featuring mystic encounters with Nighthawk, Namor, the Avengers and the Black Knight — and the return of a figure from one of Doctor Strange’s first adventures!

Thor confronts a barrage of foes — from Storm Giants and the Crusader to Graviton and the Lord of Darkness himself, Dracula! The battle for Asgard — the battle for life itself — is set when Loki and war god Tyr steal the Golden Apples of Immortality and unleash the Midgard Serpent. Thor, Sif and the Warriors Three must face a world-destroying menace and prevail — or age and die like mortal men! Then, to save Jane Foster, Thor and Sif embark on a quest into the cosmic depths of the Runestaff! Also featuring a rare black-and-white Thor adventure and retellings of classic Asgardian tales: the birth of Thor, the forging of Mjolnir, the humbling of Thor and more!

Kung-fu fever had struck the United States! Hot on the heels of the breakout hit MASTER OF KUNG FU, Marvel launched the amazing oversized DEADLY HANDS OF KUNG FU magazine — headlined by Shang-Chi, Iron Fist and the Sons of the Tiger! Artists including Rudy Nebres, George Pérez, Jim Starlin and Paul Gulacy gave DEADLY HANDS their all. With stunning painted covers by the likes of Neal Adams, issues of DEADLY HANDS featured not just the comic-art adventures of Marvel’s greatest kung-fu heroes — but also extensive interviews; martial-arts guides; photo features; and movie, TV and book reviews! Whatever you wanted to know about martial arts, DEADLY HANDS had a kung-fu grip on it!

A military machine with a soul, a thinking computer in the form of a man — X-51 is the Machine Man! Abel Stack gave a government-created robot a human face, nurturing the man inside the machine and calling him son. But Stack’s death left that son, Aaron, alone and running for his life. The military wants to strip him apart, and mankind doesn’t understand him — but in exploits crafted by two of the medium’s greatest talents, he’ll still redefine humanity. Few comic books were lucky enough to be graced by the work of Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko. Machine Man never saw an issue that wasn’t illustrated by one of these creative titans. Now, the complete MACHINE MAN epic is collected for the first time, and in one complete volume!

Discover how Barbara Morse became the Avenger known as Mockingbird! She’s a S.H.I.E.L.D. scientist who’s trained for action and destined for greatness, and she’s hunting down the Man-Thing in the Savage Land — with a little help from Ka-Zar! But what happens when the wild man follows Bobbi back to the urban jungle, and onto the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier?

You will not believe who takes on comics’ finest tattoo. What will the new owner mean for life, death and everything in the New Universe? Plus: A lost tale from Ken’s stint as the Star Brand, told 20 years on!

Jack “King” Kirby returns to the character with whom he made history as the Marvel Masterworks presents Kirby’s complete Black Panther series and its never-before-reprinted conclusion in one massive volume! Kirby’s limitless imagination unfurls before you as T’Challa unlocks the secret of King Solomon’s frog, encounters alien races, battles eternal samurai warriors and more! The history of the Wakandans, their majestic city and their amazing technology, and the origins of Vibranium, are all explored with a power and passion that only Kirby can offer. Then, Ed Hannigan and Jerry Bingham present an epic battle between the Black Panther, the Avengers and Panther’s nemesis, Ulysses Klaw!

Having gone their separate ways, you might worry we’ll have to come up with a new title for this book — but don’t, because the Doctor Doom’s evil machinations will reunite Marvel’s first family for its issue #200 extravaganza! Johnny Storm’s hotrod racing, the Thing’s demon bashing, Sue’s dalliances with Namor and Reed’s soul searching culminate in a massive five-part saga that pits the FF against its nemesis in the series’ greatest tradition! Who is Doom’s son? How does he have the FF’s powers? It’s a fight to the finish in Latveria! Also featuring Quasimodo the Living Computer, an outer-space adventure with the Inhumans and the return of the Mole Man!

Dr. Robert Bruce Banner may look like a mild-mannered scientist, but after being caught in a gamma-bomb explosion, he became the unstoppable engine of destruction known as the Hulk! Stan Lee and Jack Kirby’s atomic update on the Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde paradigm mixed the might of giant monsters with Cold War intrigue and psychological drama. Decades later, it’s a formula that still has readers clamoring for more! For the first time, this Epic Collection follows Hulk’s every adventure: his original series, his time fighting alongside — and against — the Avengers, his first confrontation with the Thing, encounters with Spider-Man and Ant-Man, and a mythic battle with Thor!

The Stan Lee/John Romita era starts here! Lee and Romita transformed the web-slinger into Marvel’s top title with stories that raised your spirits, tore at your heartstrings and kept you on the edge of your seat. From the revelation of the Green Goblin’s secret identity to the unforgettable entrance of Mary Jane Watson, these classics define Spidey to this day — with star-studded debuts including the Kingpin, the Rhino and Captain Stacy; Spidey’s disastrous first tryout with the Avengers; the iconic “Spider-Man No More!” issue; the true story of Peter Parker’s parents; and an epic battle against the Green Goblin!

Vain, greedy and prideful, Dr. Stephen Strange was a world-renowned surgeon until a car accident crippled his hands. Broken and destitute, he journeyed to Tibet in search of a legendary healer. He found not a man of medicine, but the venerable Ancient One — and the path to the mystic arts! From Doctor Strange’s eerie house on a Greenwich Village corner, Stan Lee and Steve Ditko unleashed new dimensions and otherworldly terrors — stories that remain as influential today as they were on 1960s counter-culture. Now, Marvel is proud to offer this Omnibus collection of the complete Lee/Ditko Doctor Strange run! In one beautifully restored hardcover volume, experience the iconic first appearances of Baron Mordo, Eternity, Dormammu and the Mindless Ones, as well as Wong and the lovely Clea!

Continuing the complete collection of one of comics’ most sought-after classic series! It’s martial-arts madness in the Mighty Marvel Manner, as Shang-Chi — a secret agent for British intelligence — pits his deadly hands against the claws of the Cat! The Master of Kung-Fu wrestles with the unstoppable Sumo, has his world rocked by Shockwave, and goes into aerial combat with the Red Baron! You’ll feel for him when he faces the demon warrior Shaka Kharn, but what good will furious fists and flying feet be against…Doctor Doom?! Plus: In the ultimate martial-arts team-up, Shang-Chi will fight alongside Iron Fist. But his fiercest battle will come against his most bitter foe: his own father!

Spider-Man’s life takes a grave turn! He’s about to encounter Tombstone — the highest-priced killer in the business — and the whispering hitman will make a big noise in the wall-crawler’s life. Who is Tombstone? Why is Joe Robertson investigating him? What devastating action will Tombstone take to put a stop to that? And how will it all end with Joe on trial?! Whatever the answers, the albino assassin is about to get Spider-Man’s attention — and the Punisher’s, too! Meanwhile, Boomerang makes his comeback, “Evolutionary War” breaks out, “Inferno” rages, and the Hobgoblin goes demonic. Carrion is spooky enough, but which face from Spidey’s past makes a ghoulish return? And when the wall-crawler faces Tarantula, whose side will Captain America choose?

As Manhattan burns, S’ym, N’astirh and the Goblin Queen fan the flames! But the manipulative Mister Sinister may be the most incendiary threat of all! Madelyne Pryor’s secrets are revealed, while Colossus and the New Mutants learn the truth about Illyana Rasputin! While X-Factor hunts Cyclops’s baby son, Excalibur is drawn into the fray! One by one, his teammates fall, but Longshot’s luck holds out — will anyone else survive to join him in a last stand against Sinister?

The Hulk is out for revenge! And he’ll have plenty of heavy hitters to unleash his anger on in the latest Marvel Masterworks!

Then, a battle with the Cobalt Man will send Hulk raging to Attilan, home of the Inhumans! To save their hidden city, they launch Hulk into deep space — but a mean green course correction lands Hulk on Counter-Earth! There, he and Adam Warlock must save the other Earth before an express rocket home lands the Hulk in the Canadian wild, where he’ll battle the Wendigo — and in one of the most important stories in Marvel history, face off against Wolverine in the X-Man-to-be’s first appearance!

The Masters of Evil take Avengers Mansion! In one of the greatest comic-book epics of all time, Baron Zemo strikes at the very heart of the Avengers as he leads a revamped and larger-than-ever Masters of Evil in an attack on the team’s home — and wins! And as if that wasn’t enough, Earth’s Mightiest Heroes must survive the climax of SECRET WARS II, and a battle for the ages between Kang and Immortus! The Sub-Mariner’s membership leads to public protests, but that won’t stop the Avengers and Alpha Flight from lending a hand during Attuma’s assault on Atlantis. Meanwhile an old friend turns enemy: What’s gotten into Quicksilver? Two teams of Avengers will assemble to find out!

There is one weapon in the galaxy more powerful than all others. Nothing is more coveted or feared, loved or hated. To dare possess it makes you a fool or madman — or, quite possibly, the right man! A mysterious encounter with an old stranger is about to leave Ken Connell as the latest to wield the power of the Star Brand! With this incredible tattoo come staggering abilities: flight, strength, near-invulnerability and the explosive force of an atom bomb. But it also attracts enemies: aliens seeking to claim the Star Brand for their own, nuke-toting terrorists — even other adventurers from this New Universe, like the armored Spitfire! Ken Connell can’t even be a good boyfriend — could he possibly have it in him to be a hero?

As one of the greatest X-Men of all makes her triumphant return, and one of mutantkind’s deadliest threats debuts! When Jean Grey is found alive — with a little help from the Avengers and Fantastic Four — she reunites with the rest of Xavier’s original class to form X-Factor! But as Cyclops, Marvel Girl, Beast, Angel and Iceman face new enemies Tower and Frenzy, little do they know the villains are part of an Alliance of Evil led by…Apocalypse! They’ll encounter uncanny new foes like Bulk and Glow Worm, and old sparring partners in Freedom Force, but there’s no question who will rise to the role of their arch-nemesis. The story of En Sabah Nur begins here!

Chris Claremont weaves complex plots and compelling characterization in our second Ms. Marvel Masterworks, concluding Carol Danvers’ original adventures! The highlights are many: Ms. Marvel meets the Avengers! Mystique makes her first appearance! A battle with Ronan the Accuser brings Ms. Marvel and Captain Marvel together, and leads to an all-new look for our heroine! Encounters with underground lizard-men, Deathbird, the Guardians of the Galaxy and Sabretooth set the stage for a controversial Avengers saga and a life-altering battle with Mystique and Rogue. And the story reaches its epic conclusion in a Marvel milestone featuring Ms. Marvel, the X-Men and the Avengers!

Is the world big enough for two Iron Men? While Tony Stark battles the bottle, James Rhodes soars to ever greater heights in the red and gold! He’ll test himself against deadly foes Radioactive Man and the Mandarin, then become a West Coast Avenger after proving his mettle alongside Marvel’s greatest heroes in the original SECRET WARS! But Rhodey’s homecoming won’t be easy. On top of building his own rogues gallery — the Brothers Grimm, Vibro and the Termite — one of Rhodey’s biggest headaches is the armor itself! But his fiercest rival of all will be his oldest friend when Tony Stark, the original Iron Man, returns! From the very large to the infinitesimally small, the two Shellheads will battle their demons — and each other!

As America began preparation for the inevitable entry into World War II, a secret military project gave birth to the greatest one-man fighting force ever known: Captain America! Transformed by the Super-Soldier Serum from a 97-pound weakling into the Star-Spangled Avenger, Steve Rogers led the charge to liberate the world from the Axis Powers’ grasp. But before the war’s end, an accident left Cap frozen in suspended animation and his sidekick Bucky seemingly dead, while the world turned on for decades. When the Avengers resuscitated him decades later, Steve Rogers was greeted by a world vastly changed. He was a man out of time tormented by the death of his partner, but no less committed to the cause of fighting evil in all its forms. In this amazing OMNIBUS collection, you’ll experience Captain America’s trend-setting Silver Age solo-stories from the very beginning. Packed with page after page of Stan-and-Jack magic, it’s Cap vs. his most classic foes of the Marvel Age — including the Red Skull, Baron Zemo, M.O.D.O.K., the Super-Adaptoid and more!

Born to be the world’s most fearsome fighter, Shang-Chi’s life takes a major turn when he discovers the truth about his father, the villainous Fu Manchu! So begins the epic story of the Master of Kung Fu! On a quest to end the reign of his pernicious patriarch, Shang-Chi pits his deadly hands and furious feet against incredible foes like Tiger-Claw, Razor-Fist, the mysterious Midnight — and even the macabre Man-Thing!

The Marvel Masterworks once again presents Captain Marvel — and this volume completes his adventures! From the epic Battle of Titan to the all-time classic Death of Captain Marvel, you can now experience every page of Mar-Vell’s cosmic quest in painstakingly restored hardcover editions. The action begins with a plan set in motion by Thanos’s death: the worldwide computer ISAAC has taken control of Titan in Thanos’s name! To overcome this deadly threat, Captain Marvel and Drax the Destroyer must fight a war on two fronts that spans the entire solar system. Art turns by Steve Ditko and Frank Miller, plus a rare tale held over for years, set the stage for Jim Starlin’s touching farewell to Mar-Vell.

In 1962, in the pages of a comic book slated for cancellation, Stan Lee and Steve Ditko gave birth to one of the most enduring icons in American popular media: the one and only Amazing Spider-Man! Turning the concept of a super hero on its head, they imbued the young, guilt-ridden Peter Parker with the fantastic powers of an arachnid and the fantastic pressures of an everyday teenager. The combination was pure magic. During the course of 40 issues of web-slinging, wisecracking wonderment, Lee and Ditko built the foundation for 45 years of Spidey spectaculars — girl trouble; bill trouble; bully trouble; the Daily Bugle; and a cast of friends, family and, of course, super villains unlike any other! Completing the entire Stan Lee/Steve Ditko Spider-Man run in one massive volume including every page, every pinup and every letters column. Not to mention unused covers, critical essays and bonuses galore!

When a young writer named Chris Claremont took over X-MEN in 1976, few fans could predict the incredible impact he would have on the Marvel Comics series. With a flair for realistic dialogue, heartfelt storylines and hard-hitting action, Claremont’s writing breathed life into the characters. In collaboration with artists Dave Cockrum and John Byrne, Claremont crafted a run still heralded as a definitive era on the book. X-MEN became more than just another super-hero title: This diverse cast of mutants fighting against prejudice and intolerance has resonated in the hearts of millions of devoted readers. Now, the first five years of their landmark run on Uncanny X-Men are collected in one oversized volume. This keepsake edition also includes all original letters pages and other uncanny extras!

Steve Englehart and Sal Buscema take Captain America and the Falcon on a journey through the madness and machinations of Doctor Faustus! The mind-bending Doctor has captured Agent 13 — but little does Cap know that Faustus also has Peggy Carter, Cap’s long-lost love from World War II! Then, Nick Fury and S.H.I.E.L.D. arrive on the scene to conscript Cap into the fight against the Yellow Claw, but the real menace to mankind is more subtly concealed. A Secret Empire moves behind the face of American power. Their goal is to frame and discredit Captain America, and replace him with their own “patriotic” icon. Now, only the combined efforts of Cap, the Falcon, S.H.I.E.L.D. and the X-Men can hope to topple them! It’s the shocking saga that defined Captain America for the ’70s!

Experience some of the greatest stories the blockbuster X-Men franchise has to offer! The era’s top talents mark milestone after mutant milestone beginning with the “Brood Saga.” Then, author Chris Claremont rises to find perhaps his most poignant and challenging expression of the mutant metaphor in “God Loves, Man Kills.” His work with Frank Miller on WOLVERINE skyrocketed the character’s popularity, setting the stage for his breakout as a global icon. The X-Men classics continue with a look into Professor X’s past with Magneto, Kitty Pryde and Colossus’s growing romance, Illyana Rasputin’s transformation into Magik, encounters with Dracula; Rogue’s debut with the X-Men, the first appearance of the Morlocks; and the wedding of Cyclops and Madelyne Pryor.

If ever there was a collection worthy of the title “Marvel Masterworks,” Bill Everett’s seminal ’70s return to the Sub-Mariner, the character he made a legend, is it! Beginning with Sub-Mariner #50, Everett began a run as writer/artist that rivaled the greatest work of his career. His luxuriant artwork and signature anarchic take on Sub-Mariner made every page an action-packed classic. Villains from Subby’s past like Prince Byrrah set the stage, while the debut of Namorita and a new fire-vs.-water nemesis, Sunfire, ratchet up the drama. The return of another Everett icon, Venus, pits Sub-Mariner against Ares — while the capture of Subby’s alien ally Tamara leads to an all-out Atlantean invasion of New York City!
